Ladies, don't forget your ID when going to buy nail polish remover!

Turns out acetone nail polish remover is the new Claritin D when it comes to making meth. So much so that CVS stores in New England are starting to ask for identification when customers purchase it, as well as putting a limit on how many bottles of remover they can buy.

The drugstore chain mandated that one must be 18 and have a valid state ID or driver's license to buy nail polish remover. According to the New York Post, CVS issued this statement to back up their plan of action (that you may or may not think is bogus): "Because acetone is an ingredient used in the illegal manufacture of methamphetamine, we recently implemented a policy that a valid ID must be presented to purchase acetone-containing products such as nail polish remover. Our policy also limits the sale of these products in conjunction with other methamphetamine precursors and is based on various regulations requiring retailers to record sales of acetone."

WPRI.com, a Rhode Island news site (via the New York Post), also revealed that the policy has been rolled out to CVS stores across Southern New England, but will it spread cross country?Only time will tell. Just don't be suprised if the next time you're itching to take that Essie Mademoiselle off your nails, a cashier asks you to whip out your ID first.
